Do these people think they own the place? Yes. Since the conservatives work, they aren't there competing for space. What happens when conservative minded people want to have their own sing-a-long at noon at the Capitol? What a bunch of maroons.

Milwaukee asked:"What happens when conservative minded people want to have their own sing-a-long at noon at the Capitol?"

Actually, that already happened. When conservative blogger Dave Blaska organized a conservative sing-along for capitol rotunda at noon, the solidarity singers moved outside and sang on the State St. corner of the Capitol, so the conservatives could have the rotunda.

Now, Blaska's writing in the Isthmus that liberals "hate free speech" -- I guess he's forgotten what happened that day.

@marylynn I was there that day. We moved outside to sing because Blaska said he had a permit. There were no arguments, we just moved. No big deal. Everyone has their chance for free speech, that's what makes Wisconsin great!

I'm very sorry SGT Ted wants to shoot anyone. That's disturbing. I may disagree with someone's politics, but I would never ask to shoot anyone because of it.

@Carol_Herman It's fine that you want to make fun of the dancing. If the Tea Party had a similar event, I'm sure I'd have my own jokes about your dancing. But don't rag on the rotunda's acoustics. It was designed in a very specific manner. Did you know that if you stand on one of the squares on the rotunda floor and speak/sing, you can hear that person from all over the Capitol? I'd say it's pretty amazing and whatever side you are on, I'm proud of my Capitol. I'm sorry you feel otherwise.

@Milwaukee Conservatives may work, liberals work too. Some people have different work schedules, like second or third shift. Some people are able to take an entire hour for lunch. Some people are unemployed despite searching for work everyday. Or some people are underemployed. They'd love to have more hours at work but aren't able to get more hours for whatever reason. Whatever the situation, every singer has a life outside the Solidarity Sing Along. As a teacher, I went to Solidarity Sing Along all summer because I taught summer school in the morning and then worked a second job in the afternoon. I was able to take my lunch at the Capitol. Now that I am teaching again, I am unable to attend sing alongs. I'm glad others are able to enjoy their lunch hour in an uplifting manner considering I no longer have time to have a 'lunch hour.' I barely have a lunch 15 minutes. The point is, everyone has different situations.

I do believe you meant they're in your sentence "When their not leveling the double wides." I think you were saying 'when they are not' and not in any ownership for of 'their not' as in owning the word not.

I still think if some city in china donated a BIG GONG ... And, the GONG got placed dead center ... It would be a fantastic added attraction.

At Huntington's Japanese Garden (outdoors) ... they have this magnificent GONG. You aim an entire tree "spear" ... at it ... And, when it rings ... the sound just keeps on going ... similar to the way a pebble in water ... tossed in ... keeps making circles.

Like children that continue to ask for soda pop for breakfast, these people (Ms Walsh too) don't understand the meaning of the 2 letters N and O when put together.

No, in the sense that the public as a whole cannot continue to fund the gravy train.

This incessant 'singing', translated, is really a temper tantrum.

Working in the private sector my entire life, here is what happens when a company can no longer continue to pay for certain benefits; a meeting is called with all employees. The HR manager and/or the VP explains how costs have risen. He/she then explains how employees must contribute more of their paycheck to the bennie package. End of story.

At this point, as an employee, one has 2 choices; accept the increase and go back to work, or make the decision to look for a different job.

That's it.

No singing. No drums. No empty, pathetic claims of solidarity.

You all, and Ms Walsh, need to get over yourselves. The fact is, you all live in the same world that we do. If you wish to get along, you all better be willing to pay the freight, the cost of being here. Nobody likes the brown noser in school, or, in the case of you union types, the assumption of privilege just because you belong to your little union 'club'.

Until you change and get with the program the rest of us face, that is, REALITY, you will feel the snub.

Hey Walsh, your state, along with all the rest of the states, keeps a force ready to be called out to shoot rioters if need be.

Also, "shoot the rioters" isn't "shoot the protestors". I thought you lefties were into nuance.

How come you aren't denouncing the lefty idiot who is showing his clear desire to riot if he doesn't get his way politically?

Maybe it because you are so blinded by your leftwing politics that you don't have a problem with incitement to riot so much as my desire to stop it with deadly force if need be.

My post was meant to contrast the clear call to violence by a spoiled brat leftard in the WI capital with the voice of someone who was highly trained to deal with the riot he is calling for. You seem to have no objection to his speech, so what is so wrong with mine?

You should direct your 'concern' to those who proudly proclaim their desire to riot and not those who may have to respond with deadly force.
